Shock damping and absorbing racket

Abstract

A shock damping and absorbing racket comprises a frame substantially in an oval form and a handle extending therefrom. A groove is made around the periphery of the frame. A plurality of through holes are evenly spaced along the groove, through which the string is interwoven to form a large striking surface within the frame. A rib is across the two opposite lateral side of the frame, making the vertical taut strings to cross it in such a way that one portion of the string crosses over the rib and another portion of the same string crosses under the rib so as to rapidly and efficiently stop and prevent the transmission of shock waves.

I claim: 
     
       1. A shock damping and absorbing racket comprising: a frame substantially in an oval form and a handle extending from two opposite lateral sides at the bottom of said frame; a groove formed around the outer periphery of said frame;   said groove having a plurality of through holes evenly spaced along said groove;   a plurality of vertical and transverse strings passing through said holes and interweaving to form a large web within said frame;   a thin, curved, and reinforced rib integrally formed with said frame and connected to said two opposite lateral sides of said frame disposed at a throat portion of said frame, the vertical distance between said rib and said vertical string is approximately 0.2 mm;   wherein said vertical taut strings cross said rib in such a way that a prior portion of each said vertical taut string crosses over said rib and a posterior portion of each said vertical taut string crosses under said rib, and whereby said reinforced rib can rapidly and efficiently stop and prevent the transmission of shock waves.   
     
     
       2. A shock damping and absorbing racket as claimed in claim 1, wherein said thin rib is solid without any hole and the cross-sectional diameter of said thin rib is smaller than the vertical width of said frame. 
     
     
       3. A shock damping and absorbing racket as claimed in claim 1, wherein a protective casing made of shock absorbing meaterial covers the outer periphery of said rib, whereby said racket is reinforced and the vibration generated by said strings is absorbed by said shock absorbing casing.
